I found OpenLDAP quite limiting for back-ending Turba. I got it  
working, but ran into issues with multiple email addresses that just  
got too difficult to fix, so I shifted my Turba backend to MySQL. I  
still use OpenLDAP for authentication.

Having said that, for what it is worth, the schema that I have loaded  
(that DID work for Turba / OpenLDAP) are (in slapd.conf):

include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/rfc2739.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/horde.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema

You also will need to map the Turba attributes to what OpenLDAP  
expects to get - otherwise the write fails.
